Running RH 7.2 in an LPAR. I wanted to verify something. Hardware is getting the time from a sysplex timer. Linux is getting the time from the hardware (how?). So, the "local clock" on my linux server is a reflection of the sysplex timer? Running an NTP server using the local clock as a server (127.127.1.0) is effectively using the sysplex timer as the ETR?
Also, newbie alert. Looking at the /etc/ntp.conf provided by redhat, one line is "fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10", but the comments are: "... when no outside source of synchronized time is available. The default startum is usually 3, but in this case we elect to use stratum 0." So my question here is, is 10 = 0? Thanks all, ~ Daniel
